    Graco Prox17 true airless paint sprayer

    Back in 70 we had a few Graco pumps we used to spray undercoating onto the underside of cars. They were pretty easy to rebuild. just a small plastic ball and a few inexpensive parts.

    Dorky question

    We successfully used them twice last week to take birds. First setup was done about 25 minutes before sunrise with the birds roosted about 60 yards away. We set them up in the road and the birds came in about 10-15 minutes after they flew down after we called once. Nice thing we were back into some mesquites and the toms were concentrated on the decoys giving me a little time to pick my shot. In the late afternoon we hiked into a bottomland of hackberry and mesquites that had some standing water and grass. We set up the decoys and moved back about 35 yards to setup. This was about 5:30 and did a couple of calls on a slate then would call a little about every 20 minutes. At 7 a couple showed up into view about 60 yards out we waited then called once and they gradually came up to the decoys and stayed put for about 1 minuted giving me a shot. First time I have used decoys but definitely helped in my success. The first bird the afternoon before gobbled to a call as we were walking in so we setup waited a couple of minutes and called. He came in silent and presented a shot at about 35 yards, no decoys were used.

    Anyone buy glasses from Eye Glass World?

    I'm not a member. I was in the 90's but we would end up buying too much stuff.

    Are the birds talking for the youth hunt

    While maybe not ideal the wind in the forest close to the ground will be less. I wouldn't let it get you down, birds will still be out and about you just won't be able to hear gobbles much past 150 yards.

    Day one in Oklahoma

    Got my first Rio. Well there isn't a lot of public land where I was (Waurika) so at 4PM we stopped at a spot my friend Tanner knew of. The wind had been blowing steady 15 - 25 MPH when I left Amarillo for the four hour drive to Duncan. After I checked in I went to Wally World and got my license and tags. Met up With Tanner whom I had only casually met on FB last year when a local guy passed in a fatality in an ATV accident and left a wife and 5 kids and he wasn't even close to 30. Very sad. The local folks did what they could to raise money and one of those things was a turkey hunt. I contacted them to see what species and then explained that although I couldn't come then if they were good with it I would match the high bidder and send her the money now if they would let me come out in 2018. They must have thought I was crazy but it was agreed upon so Wednesday morning I headed to OK and spent the night in Amarillo. I got up early this morning, loaded up and headed out to Duncan four hours away. God must love simple minded people because armed with six hours sleep and a full cup of decaff I was off. It was great, very few cars on the road and my F150 rental hummed along well past the limit of 75. I love exploring America and this drive was not disapointment. I hit Duncan and checked into Hampton Inn then went to Walmart and blew $162 on a license and two tags. Tanner met me there and we rondevoued back at the motel so I could drop off my truck. We stopped for lunch at a local burrito shop then headed south. We spent a few hours looking in some local spots before ending up at a public access spot. We hiked into a 40 acre wheat field, saw some hog tracks but no turkey tracks. We had about 100 yards behind us and while Tanner made a few calls on the way into the woods we decided to head back. I was just enjoying being in new country and seeing so many cattle ranches. So Tanner let out a few soft calls and a Tom responded from about 150 feet. OH Crap!. We hustled to get into position and before I could bet my face mask and gloves on he let out a few soft calls and chirps. Maybe a minutes later here I see this dark, almost black bird pop up from the creek bottom about 40 yards away. Even though Tanner was a few feet away he couldn't see him when I said here he comes. He started coming and went about 5 yards, then stopped and strutted. Tanner called and the tom stretched his neck and bobbed his head back and forth. Then he just started coming to us, I mean ME! I slowly raised my gun and looked down the barrel and realized it was kinda sideways and wasn't even against my shoulder. Clam down Chris I said to my seld and repositioned it. There was a downed sapling about 20 yards in front of me which was partially blocking a decent shot, and he was still coming. I stated thinking to myself, is this really happening? The Tom went a few more yards and I managed to right the gun and let one off and he piled up. So 4PM, 80+ degrees on public land, just doesn't get much better than that. And I have two more tags to fill. LOL And there are hogs so let's see if I can get one tomorrow with a Winchester 95 in 375 Winchester with open sights. Temps are supposed to drop 20 degrees tonight as a front moves in and will bring some rain about 4AM. We will hit the woods about 5, even though sunrise isn't until 7. Loving it.
